President Barack Obama will be releasing his budget tomorrow. Already,organized labor and others who side with the President more often than not are upset with cuts he's willing to make (likely to be around $200 billionworth).
The Republican leadership in congressisn't happy with the budget either. Most Republicans don't want to raise taxes in order to help raise revenue and decrease the deficit.
Accusations the budget is getting balanced on the back of seniors, children and people in poverty can seem like tired political rhetoric. But, those are the people that disproportionately rely on government services.
So as the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities points out in a handy chart, for the last few years it's true these groups have borne the brunt of the budget battle.
